The authorities will focus on strengthening the user authentication process.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorcas announced that the Cyber Security Review Board will begin its third review of cyberattacks aimed at hacking into cloud computing. In the commission’s initial review, he specifically considered the vulnerabilities involved in his 2021 hack of the Log4j open source software library.
A second investigation, completed earlier this month, aimed to uncover the tactics of Lapsus$, a well-known global hacking group. A third review aims to strengthen the protection of the authentication process required to access cloud software from multiple computers in multiple locations.
“Cloud security is the backbone of our most critical systems, from e-commerce platforms to communication tools to critical infrastructure,” said Mayorkas. “Actionable recommendations from the CSRB can help all organizations make their data safer and more cyber resilient.”

- Appreciate Secretary Mayorkas’ insight into leading the effort to secure authentication processes in cloud computing.
